I really meant to tell people this stuff, honest!

Ben the Neighbor shaved his head. He now looks like a refuge from the Marix. When he had it done Peter knocked on my door and told me, "Michelle, Ben's been mugged!" "Oh No!" I wailed. "yep--the bastards got his hair!" and Ben popped up around the corner, scaring the beejezus out of me.

I narrowly missed having a $100 bill thrown at me from a black Mercedes that apparently prowls my neighborhood from time to time. True fact--some unidentified guy drives around in a black Mercedes and occasionally tosses out c-notes. Before my neighborhood gets covered with hopeful Mausketters, I should remind you that anyone crazy enough to throw money at you might have one of those handy-dandy conceal-and-carry permits they're handing out lately. anyway, I didn't get the money--Bill from the corner store did. Lucky so-and-so...

French fries....Nothing wrong with that....

Peter went thrifting and left me a huge pile of pastel yarns and a set of 5 needles. The really good bit is the yarn is all about 2 feet long, cut into lengths. So I've been laughing maniacally, making this horrible garter-stitched pastel THING....with fringe. Lots and lots of fringe. When I'm done I may have to put sequins on it, just to be really awful. Bad maus. Bad, bad, Maus..

The Llewellyn lady e-mailed me...she likes my stuff, and has some ideas for some sketches. Nothing comcrete, but I have a definite feeling of moving forward a bit here. Woowoo! So now I must sketch like I've never sketched before!!!...
...Once I untangle myself from the horrible pastel Knitting...Oh god the knitting....

Sooooo...things are pretty swell:)

*smiles* Why on earth would your peeps do that? Really, what possible good can carrying a hidden gun do?

We're becoming a *very* paranoid country....a lot of people think if they were packing heat that their troubles will be over and they can shoot it out Western style. There's a looootta testosterone running around these days:(

Personally, I think we're going to have a lot more stupid and tragic fatalities--road ragers, gunfights at bars, kids playing with unsecured guns and blowing their heads off by mistake or taking them to school. and I'm not a complete anti-gun-person saying this; I used to target shoot with my grandfather's squirrel rifle as a kid, and enjoyed it. But a handgun is a very different deal entirely....

Yeah, I agree. I've "played" with guns in the past. Shooting in ranges and cans and sofas and fridges and balls and things. But having a concealed weapon legally is just not on.

It scares me more than just a bit these days...

But I'll keep being stubborn and knitting the stress away.

Whoops! You're tangled in the yarn! I'm sorry!!!

*tries chewing his way out through Ms Maus' superstrength yarn*

*gives in and resorts to being tangled up with the maus, hanging by a thread - literally - to her every word*

Don't eat the wool, you! That's mohair!!!
If you have to eat yarn eat the acrylic stuff, man!
*mock scolds*
Well, maybe I can knit around you or something.

As for words...um....my feet hurt? Umm, I'm hungry? Spring rolls? Ooh that's a good word...
